peter bush Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Richard, Hornet was right. John is Doug,s son and Steve is George,s son. George is now 94 and unable to drive anymore. Steve drives him about. He is the one with the cars and drives a lovely Mercedes S600 V12 Twin turbo. I keep in touch. The coach drivers I remember were Bill Cheadle and Bob Whittaker. John Bamforth was a mechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter bush Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks Richard, I,d forgotten Ernest Bramall. He was very smart. Also wonder what happened to Robert Hibble in the body repair shop. Vera ran the office and a young woman who married a part time driver who was a fireman. I think she still works at Monty,s Oughtibridge following a spell at the fire station. I think she was called May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
